a 5.1 kg bucket water is raised from a well by a rope. the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. if the upward acceleration of the bucket is 4.5m/s^2, find the force exerted by the rope on the bucket of water.
ur solving for Fn (net force).
ur gona be usin this equation
~~ Fn= mg + ma ~~
"m" is mass
"a" is acceleration
"g" is obviously gravity
in ur problem the given are
m = 5.1kg
a = 4.5m/s^2
g = 9.8m/s^2 or 9.8m/s^2 (depending on what your problem says)
so now u plug it in the formula
Fn = (5.1kg*9.8m/s^2)+(5.1kg*4.5m/s^2)
and it should equal this Fn= 72.93N
To find the force exerted by the rope on the bucket of water, we need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force (F) acting on an object is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied by its acceleration (a).
In this case, the mass of the bucket of water is given as 5.1 kg, and the upward acceleration is given as 4.5 m/s^2. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2, but we need to subtract it from the upward acceleration to find the net acceleration experienced by the bucket of water.
So, the net acceleration (a_net) experienced by the bucket of water can be calculated as:
a_net = upward acceleration (a) - acceleration due to gravity (g)
= 4.5 m/s^2 - 9.81 m/s^2
= -5.31 m/s^2 (since the downward acceleration is negative)
Now, we can calculate the force exerted by the rope (F) on the bucket of water using the formula:
F = m * a_net
Plugging in the values, we get:
F = 5.1 kg * (-5.31 m/s^2)
F = -27.081 N
The negative sign indicates that the force exerted by the rope is in the opposite direction (downward) to the upward acceleration. So, the force exerted by the rope on the bucket of water is 27.081 N in the downward direction.
